If The Dash has his way, there will be BCS chaos
Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football ("Time to Harvest the Great Pumpkin" (1) T-shirts sold separately in Knoxville, Tenn.):
Cheering For Chaos
In Dante's "Divine Comedy," the eighth circle of Hell is where they stash "sowers of discord." And that would be The Dash when it comes to the BCS.
There is no discord more enjoyably sowed than discord related to the Bowl Championship Series. The Dash daydreams of ways the BCS won't work, and of this year's BCS mouthpiece, ACC commissioner John Swofford (4), having to defend it against national outrage.
If you also root for scenarios that will create maximum controversy and criticism of the faulty nonplayoff system college football can't quit, you've come to the right place. Read on, and one day we can tailgate together in Hades.
Doomsday Scenario 1: Nobody in the top three loses. Texas (5), Alabama (6) and Penn State (7) win out. Three teams with perfect records, two spots in the title game, no common opponents. Somebody, most likely Penn State, is left to rail against a system that didn't give it a chance to prove itself worthy or unworthy of a national title. Auburn fans can tell Nittany Nation how much fun that is. Only happy outfit outside the Big 12 and SEC is the Rose Bowl, which gets to keep its Big 10-versus-Pac-10 antiquity going. (The Dash admits, a USC-Penn State Rose Bowl would not suck.)
Doomsday Scenario 3: A one-loss team finishes ahead of an unbeaten BCS conference champion. That most likely would be an SEC or Big 12 champion outmaneuvering Penn State. The argument (and it's a compelling one) would be that the winner(s) of those leagues went through a tougher conference and a tougher nonconference schedules than the winner of the Big Ten.
Georgia (10) and Florida (11) already have played a tougher slate than Penn State, according to Jeff Sagarin. (Georgia is No. 23 in strength of schedule, Florida No. 24, Penn State No. 64.) That gap wouldn't decrease significantly down the stretch. If Florida is going to reach 12-1, it would have beaten Georgia, Florida State and most likely Alabama; if Georgia reaches 12-1 it would have beaten Florida, Georgia Tech and most likely Alabama.
Such a scenario would meet a violent counter-argument from not just Penn State and Big Ten backers, but anyone out there with a soft spot for Press Box Joe Paterno. (Dash's prediction: The USA Today coaches' poll voters would slide heavily into Penn State's corner if it came to that, because their final ballots are public -- and they wouldn't want the backlash of voting down an octogenarian icon in his last great chance at a title. Not saying it would be right, just saying it's easy to foresee.) But computer rankings have no soft spots.
The one-loss power that would not deserve a spot ahead of unbeaten Penn State would be USC (12). The Nittany Lions beat Oregon State by 31; the Trojans lost to Oregon State by six. End of argument.
Doomsday Scenario 5: All-out chaos. A bloodletting in the Big 12 and SEC leaves all the top contenders with two losses. USC drops another game. Penn State loses to Iowa or Michigan State. Meanwhile, Utah, Boise State, Ball State and Tulsa all run the table and increase the clamor for a BCS outsider to make the title game. Nobody knows how to vote. Discord is crowned the undisputed champion.
Doomsday Scenario 6: Dashette Mila Kunis (13) dumps The Dash for Lee Corso.
November: A Two-Act Drama
First, a six-pack opening act of crucial games that will help shape where we are heading into Thanksgiving weekend:
Texas at Texas Tech (15), Saturday. All kinds of star players in this potential pingpong match -- but the most intriguing guy might be Tech's Accidental Kicker, Matt Williams. At the beginning of the season he was eating nachos in the student section, and now he's preparing to kick against the No. 1 team in the country on national TV. Williams has become a college football cult hero after winning a contest to come out of the stands and kick a 30-yard field goal for a free month's rent when Tech played UMass. Williams drilled it, and in a season in which the Red Raiders have missed six PATs and four field goals, eternally unconventional coach Mike Leach turned this guy into a walk-on. Last week against Kansas, he was 9-for-9 kicking extra points. Leach is shielding him from the media with the Longhorns coming up. You wonder whether he'd let the kid kick, say, a 35-yard field goal with the game -- and the season -- on the line.
TCU at Utah (16), Nov. 6. You never know how big this could end up being (see: Doomsday Scenario 5). But the way the Horned Frogs dominated BYU, they might well be the best team in the Mountain West Conference. Both teams play night games on the road Saturday and then must turn around quickly for this Thursday nighter.
Alabama at LSU (17), Nov. 8. The storyline will be Saban Mania, but it will be much bigger for the LSU fans than the current Tigers, almost all of whom were recruited by Les Miles. This is the Crimson Tide's last road game of the regular season -- which is too bad for the Tide, given the performances away from Tuscaloosa thus far. Average winning margin in four road/neutral games: 22.5 points. Average winning margin in four games at home: 13.8.
The Dash's Heisman List
1. Colt McCoy, Texas. There's on fire, and then there's molten-lava McCoy. He completed a school-record 18 straight passes at one point in the Longhorns' 28-24 victory over Oklahoma State. Even a couple of second-half turnovers cannot diminish his current tear. 2. Sam Bradford, Oklahoma. All he did was lead the Sooners to 55 points Saturday against Kansas State. In the first half. 3. Chase Daniel, Missouri. Terrific bounce-back game by Daniel, who threw for 302 yards and 5 touchdowns in a 58-0 annihilation of Colorado. • ESPN.com's Heisman Watch | Vote! |
Texas Tech at Oklahoma (19), Nov. 22. The Sooners have lost two of their last three meetings with Tech. The Red Raiders will be playing their third straight heavyweight game, this one coming after Texas and Oklahoma State.
Then Act II, the holiday weekend itself. Seven of the top nine teams in the current BCS standings will have a huge, ancient rivalry game on Thanksgiving weekend, in which at least one of the two teams should have national or conference title aspirations on the line. The exceptions are Texas Tech, which hosts Baylor (12 straight wins in that series, 11 of them blowouts), and Penn State, which already will have its regular-season hay in the barn. The latter schedule could potentially set up the Big Ten champ with another cripplingly long layoff before the national title game.
Texas A&M at Texas (20), Nov. 27. The Aggies have shocked the Horns the past two seasons, but this would qualify as one of the biggest wins in A&M history if Texas comes in undefeated and ranked No. 1.
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State (21), Nov. 29. Could be the biggest Bedlam Series game ever if both come in 10-1 and ranked in the top 10. The Cowboys beat top-five Sooners teams in 2001 and '02, after nearly knocking off Oklahoma during its 2000 national championship season. But Bob Stoops is riding a five-game winning streak in the rivalry now.
Auburn at Alabama (23), Nov. 29. Seems crazy for Tommy Tuberville to be fighting for his job with an 84-37 record on The Plains, but here he is. How does he hang on? Pretty simple. Beat the Crimson Tide for the seventh year in a row. Not even Auburn could fire him then.
Georgia Tech at Georgia (24), Nov. 29. Could be quite an introduction to this rivalry for first-year Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson. He might be in position to try to option the Bulldogs out of the national championship picture.
Notre Dame at USC (25), Nov. 29. If things break right, the Fighting Irish could be 9-2 entering the Coliseum to play the 9-1 Trojans. Then it would be up to a Notre Dame program that has lost six straight to USC -- five of them routs -- to at least keep it entertaining.
Six Bad Seasons Will Get You Canned -- Twice
At this very time in 2002, end of October and heading into November, Ty Willingham (26) was the hottest coach in college football. His first Notre Dame team was 8-0 and ranked fourth in the nation. He'd been trumpeted as "The Savior of Notre Dame" on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He was on his way to winning national Coach of the Year awards.
The first was Notre Dame (27), where the school took the unprecedented step of firing its football coach after three seasons. Now he's out at Washington (28), where it was announced Monday that he will step down at the end of this, his fourth season.
The firing is perfectly justified. The ensuing tap dances of glee from Notre Dame fans (yes, The Dash received your voluminous e-mails of celebration) is not. If anything, it only shows that the obsessive insistence on vilifying Willingham for everything that has gone wrong at Notre Dame is alive and well, and presumably will continue until the man is dead and buried.
Willingham's successor, Charlie Weis (29), was handed a new 10-year contract worth more than $30 million during his first season in South Bend -- which remains indefensible.
Weis has compiled a 27-17 record with the Irish by doing one thing well: he's consistently beaten the bad teams on the schedule. Against opponents that ended the season with losing records or, in the case of 2008, currently own losing records, Weis is 18-1. Against opponents that ended the season with records of .500 or better or currently own .marks of 500 or better, Weis is 9-16.
In his past 14 games against .500 or better competition, Weis is 1-13. And the lone exception -- the 28-21 victory over Stanford earlier this month -- could wind up going the other way by season's end. The Cardinal are 4-4 with games remaining against USC, Oregon and California.
Lip Winner Still Flawless
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin (30) won The Dash's annual Last Interception pool on Oct. 18, when his last competitor, Mississippi State's Tyson Lee, threw his first (and second and third) picks of the season. One week later, Griffin still hasn't thrown one to the wrong team. He put it up 20 times in a 32-20 loss to Nebraska without an oskie, bringing him to 175 interceptionless attempts on the season -- and in the freshman's career.It's gotten so out of hand that only one other quarterback in the national top 100 for passing efficiency is within one pick of Griffin. That would be North Carolina State's Russell Wilson (31), another freshman. He threw an interception on Sept. 13 against Clemson, but has not had one since.
The Forgettable Four
The Davey O'Brien Award, which goes to the nation's outstanding quarterback, announced its semifinalists Monday. Among the names not on the list are four guys who were highly touted in August but who have not enjoyed 2008:
Todd Boeckman (33), Ohio State. It has to be hard for a 24-year-old to lose his job to a teenager, especially coming off a season in which Boeckman helped caretake the Buckeyes to the national title game. Boeckman went the entire month of October without playing, losing his job to freshman Terrelle Pryor. Even with the Buckeyes failing to score a touchdown at home for the first time in 25 years last week against Penn State, Boeckman never saw the field.
Jake Locker (34), Washington. The dynamic sophomore was likely lost for the season to when he was injured in the fourth game, the biggest reason why the Huskies are 0-7 and hopeless. But even when Locker was in the lineup, he hadn't thrown for more than 204 yards or rushed for more than 62 in a game.
Cullen Harper (35), Clemson. Harper can identify with Painter at this point. His senior season has spiraled into the dumpster, with production falling off from 27 touchdowns and six interceptions last season to six TDs and eight picks this season. One of Tommy Bowden's final acts as coach was to bench Harper before the Georgia Tech game, but an injury to freshman Willy Korn gave Harper a chance to play most of that contest. Clemson lost, as it has four times in a season that began in the top 10.
And then there is the Tebow kid (36), who is an O'Brien semifinalist but would have to be considered a long shot to repeat as winner of that award and the Heisman Trophy. Tebow has the Gators in position for greater team success in '08 than they enjoyed in '07, but it has come at the expense of personal numbers. After seven games, he's nowhere near on pace to replicate the staggering 4,100 yards of total offense and 55 total touchdowns he accumulated last season.
Putting Out An APB For ...
Former Georgia wide receiver Lindsay Scott (37). This being Cocktail Party week for the Dawgs and Gators, it seems a fine time to find the guy who might have made the most famous play in the history of the series. In 1980, with undefeated Georgia trailing Florida 21-19 with a minute to play, quarterback Buck Belue scrambled and threw from near his own goal line to Scott, whose 93-yard catch and run is part of Bulldog lore, helping them to the national title. Legendary announcer Larry Munson's call of the final 15 yards of the run: "Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott!" Anyone with information on Scott's whereabouts, please apprise The Dash.Meanwhile, The Dash is pleased to report that last week's APB subject, former Utah running back Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala (38), is reportedly alive and well and living in Hawaii. According to a couple of updates The Dash received, after retiring from the NFL Fuamatu-Ma'afala returned to his home state and is working for Army Youth Sports, helping coach and arranging events for the children of military personnel.
Point After
When hungry and thirsty in the most excellent college town of Austin, The Dash recommends the Cadillac all-you-can-eat plate at The County Line BBQ (39). You'll get enough ribs, brisket, chicken and sausage to put you in a meat coma -- but then you'll have to overcome it and this the city's crazily happening bar scene. The Dash recommends grabbing a beer at Six (40), which is partly owned by a local athlete of some renown, Lance Armstrong.Pat Forde is a senior writer for ESPN.com.

KBA's New Customer Center is User and Environmentally Friendly
November 16, 2010• Branch-Smith Printing, an award-winning family-owned printer of publications, catalogs, and books based in Fort Worth, TX, operates a KBA Rapida 130 51˝ eight-color four-over-four perfector press with a roll sheeter.
• Motivating Graphics, a commercial and packaging printer, has a host of KBA presses including a new Rapida 162 64˝ press.
For those who can not make the commitment to visit the Dallas facility, KBA continues its unique webcam operation. The new webcam demonstration, training, and application testing program for its current customers and future customers, available only from KBA, allows printers to sit in the comfort of their office and view a KBA press demonstration in the KBA Customer Center in Dallas or experience their very own applications being printed on a KBA press. The printer can ask questions in real time and see up close, via portable webcams, the special features of the press as it is printing a job.
The Customer Center is equipped with a KBA Genius 52UV 20˝ and a KBA Rapida 75 23x29˝ press.
The versatile Genius 52UV, the recipient of the prestigious Printing Industries of America InterTech award, is the world's first waterless UV sheetfed offset press making it a 'must-have' option for printers who care about the environment.

In fact, its plastic printing capabilities alone produce a range of possibilities that include PVC, PC, PS, ABS, and PET.
The KBA Rapida 75, introduced at DRUPA 2008, is a 15,000 sph press configurable with two to eight colors plus coater and perfector, and incorporates nearly 30 new features.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Two separate incidents in Orange resulted in two arrests for amphetamine possession, one involving illegal prescription pills and the other involving cocaine and crystal meth.
Two arrests resulted from an incident in which an allegedly intoxicated driver with minor passengers in the vehicle struggled with police attempting to determine the man's sobriety.
Two former Beaumont Independent School District employees pleaded guilty in federal court April 14 to allegations of embezzling or conspiring to embezzle more than $4 million dollars from the local school district.
UPDATE: At about 7 p.m. Thursday, April 17, 2014, acting on a Crime Stoppers Tip, fugitive task force members located and arrested Cody Lewis in Pennington, Texas, about 157 miles northeast of Beaumont just off U.S. 287.
UPDATE 3 – Mike Neil's comments: Current BISD Board Trustee Mike Neil said Monday, April 14, in a 12:50 p.m. press conference at the BISD Administration Building, "This is a huge victory. There is no reason to appeal; Putting a conservator in is exactly what needs to be done. I wish they would have come in sooner.

Bethlehem Town supervisor Jack Cunningham notched the Independence Party line in his effort to defeat Republican/Conservative candidate Jim Grady this November.
Unofficial results show Cunningham winning the Independence line with a total of 209 votes to Grady's 151 votes.
I appreciate everybody's hard work, said Cunningham as the results came in to the Nathaniel Blanchard American Legion Hall on Tuesday evening.
"I'm very excited and it's now on to November and victory there," said Cunningham over the shouts of "Keep Cunningham" from his supporters.
Cunningham was appointed to the Town seat in April following Terri's Egan's resignation. Egan took a job with the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
Bethlehem voters chose Patricia Slavik over Michael Conners II in the Democratic primary race for Albany County Comptroller, however preliminary countywide returns show that race to be a close one with Conners leading.
In the Democratic primary race for 36th district Albany County legislator, early returns show incumbent Howard Shafer leading Leo Dorsey Jr. in Bethlehem. Part of the 36th district is also in Coeymans.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, it seemed like a good time to post a basic Paleo pie crust recipe. Pumpkin, blueberry, apple or left-over turkey pot pie are just a few ideas for filling this staple with whatever you wish for the holidays.
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon unflavored, grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons sugar, preferably coconut or maple
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into chunks (for pure Paleo, use 6 tablespoons ghee)
Place almond flour, coconut flour, salt, sugar and gelatin in food processor and pulse to combine.
Next add butter or ghee and pulse in 10 second bursts for a about a half minute, then process continuously until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Transfer dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and press into a flat, round 9-inch disk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Remove plastic wrap from the dough and press onto bottom and up the sides of a greased 9″ pie dish. Crimp edges of crust. Refrigerator for an additional 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 º and place oven rack in middle position.
Before placing crust into the oven to cook, cut out a round piece of parchment paper to fit on the bottom of the pie crust and cover with pie weights or beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until just turning golden brown.

Just in the last day or two, dozens (hundreds?) of holes have appeared around the foundation of my house. They're about a centimeter in diameter, and my strawberry leaves have all been eaten around the ones that appeared in my fruit bed. My first guess was cicadas, but I didn't know they ate strawberries. Any ideas of what else it could be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I assume that you haven't seen anything coming or going from the holes or eating the strawberry leaves? Do they "eat" circular to semi-circular holes in the leaves? Or, the whole leaf? If they are taking out circular to semicircular patches, it likely is leafcutter bees and they are cutting out pieces of leaves to use in building their nests. Otherwise, if it is coming from those holes in the ground, I'd suspect a beetle of some sort. The only thing that's ever eaten my strawberry foliage is rabbits, but they don't live in 1 cm holes in the ground. Neither do leafcutter bees, but I still think they are a likely suspect. Dawn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Photos of Leafcutter Bees & Damaged Leaves
The whole leaves are gone, but they leave the stems and the green fruit alone. It's similar to rabbit damage, but it's happening to leaves inside my rabbit fence where they can't reach. I've never seen anything emerge from the holes, but I have seen more wasps around lately. From searching online I saw that there were some wasps that emerge from the ground, but I'm not sure that's what it is. They look a lot like cicada holes with no castings or loose dirt around them at all. It's weird! |
There are various ground-nesting wasps and hornets, including cicada killers, but I don' know of any that feed on leaves. They usually feed on plant sap and exudates. How big are the openings in your rabbit fence? I've had tiny baby cottontails squeeze through chicken wire fencing. |
It's a wire fence with about 1cm squares. If they can fit through that I'll be impressed! Perhaps it's just a mere coincidence that my strawberries are being eaten where these holes appeared. I'll have to keep a close eye on my strawberries and see if I can spot whatever is eating them. |

Installation and Finished Product
Removing the middle section of padding is easy enough; it is cut and pops right out. As for the holes for the studs, I just pushed them through the foam, and the plus and paper comes right out of the other side. Then, we simply slip the studs through the board, and we are ready to flip it over.
First, we had to send the barrel nuts on top of the washers down to the bottom of the studs to make standoffs, and secure the plate to the board. After that, we applied some TIM, and set the block down. To secure the block, we then used the larger nuts, and I tightened them as tight as possible with my fingers, in an X-pattern.
There is one thing obviously missing from this kit, and it took me until I added the fans to the radiator to even see it. The small screws that I thought were for the brackets will mount the fans, but then there is nothing to mount the fan grills. Digging into my older hardware, I was able to come up with what I needed to get the job done correctly.
We went ahead and checked the thread and fit of the fittings with what Larkooler had supplied. It didn't take but a second to realize I would be in dire need of some angled fittings to make this fit in the chassis we test with.
And this is why we had to opt for a pair of angled fittings, and it does not hurt that they are rotaries either. Setting things up at this point were pretty simple, outside of the fact that the tubing is not as soft as I would like it to be.
At the other end of the loop, I did have to do some rigging to make it all work and stay where I needed it, but that is due to the chassis, not the kit. The Velcro pad held pretty well, but we added the foam to make sure it stayed in place. Also, keep in mind, the fill port is the one facing you, not the one at the top currently; that is a bleeder valve of sorts.
The 24-pin jumper comes in really handy when filling the loop. This way, you can just flick on the PSU, run it, then stop to add more fluid; rinse and repeat until the loop is full. It also allows you to run the loop and look for leaks, and wait for all the air to escape the block, the radiator, and the tubing, while the rest of the system sits essentially dead with no power.
After about 30 minutes to an hour of messing around and getting the majority of the air out of the SkyWater 330 loop, we had it installed, and almost ready for testing. We did run the system for another few hours to get all the air out of the lines, and that seemed to take the most time. At this point I will say: It has been rather simple and easy thus far to put this all together.

New Sacral Nerve Stimulation Section
We have developed a new section on the nerve stimulation treatment, Sacral Neuromodulation, more commonily known as sacral nerve stimulation.
Sacral Neuromodulation is effectively used to treat overactive bladder such as leaking and the frequent, strong, and sudden urge to go to the toilet. It may also alleviate symptoms of retention that are not caused by an obstruction and in some cases, it may alleviate symptoms of interstitial cystitis.
Sacral Neuromodulation may also be used to treat patients who experience faecal incontinene and chronic constipation and can also be used to treat both bladder and bowel problems together.
For more information on this treatment please visit our Sacral Nerve Stimulation section.

text: I've been loading 45ACP & 9MM, But I'm preparing to load .223 I can't seem to find a powder feed die for this specific cartridge. I've found out that the case mouth gets expanded in the sizing stage, so I'm aware that I won't find a powder feed expander. My question is that I see Lee does have a 22 rifle powder feed die that is suitable for 223 OAL. Does anyone use this die in their auto disk stage? If so does it work well? Thanks in advance.

Against some bigger expectations, Julian Assange did not crash the U.S. government or forever change the way private information is shared — but he is getting a few movies made about his life. Amongst the documentaries and features that have been percolating for at least a year, one of the most promising — if only because of the "inside access" at play — is set up at DreamWorks and waiting to find the right people. While we haven't heard about it in almost 18 months, leading some (like yours truly) to let it slip their mind, development just kickstarted with two promising names at the center.
Deadline reports that Jeremy Renner and director Bill Condon (Breaking Dawn, Dreamgirls) are both keen on this biopic of the controversial WikiLeaks founder, with considerations and conversations all taking place as of this writing. It's already off to a good start, but the currently-untitled feature would also stand out from other biopics for two main reasons: It would probably be the first major narrative to hit, which is already more than enough, and is using two revealing books as its launch point.
Those would happen to be David Leigh and Luke Harding's WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War On Secrecy, as well as Daniel Domscheit-Berg's Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World's Most Dangerous Website; the former is penned by two men who worked and personally interacted with the man, while the latter was written by Assange's former second-in-command at the company.
Neither seem to portray Assange in the best of lights — this doesn't set it apart from much media coverage, in all reality — which should make it a fairly complex, hard-to-navigate role for Renner. More interesting, then, seeing as he's made a career out of essentially playing the emotionally wounded tough guy for the past years; that's something he does plenty well with, but seeing him step outside the bounds a bit with this kind of character (and accent!) should be mighty interesting. Condon's not a guy I have much to say about, other than "the film will probably not be badly-directed."
What do you make of Renner and Condon teaming to tackle Assange?
To begin, a cliché (albeit one that's true): a great first scene will tell you how to watch the rest of the movie. Not necessarily who is important to the story, or what the major themes will be, but instead rhythms, what to look for in a shot, and ways to interpret meaning (which is […]

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming […]

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (Feb. 16, 2012) A packed crowd attended the final press conference on Thursday at American Bank Center Arena to witness the jarring between promoters Don King and Dan Goossen and the fighters participating in Saturdays SHOWTIME Championship Boxing event, live on SHOWTIME® at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). In the main event, former world champion Paul Williams (40-2, 27 KOs), of Aiken, S.C., will face Nobuhiro Ishida (24-6-2, 9 KOs) of Osaka, Japan. Ishida has won his last two bouts via first-round stoppage, including an upset over then-undefeated James Kirkland in April of 2011, while Williams owns victories over Sergio Martinez and Antonio Margarito. DAN GOOSSEN: From top to bottom, its going to be all action. Paul Williams is nothing but action. Saturday were going to have a special treat in the Triple Threat. And were happy to showcase some other guys on SHOWTIME EXTREME, which is available in more than 99 percent of homes that subscribe to SHOWTIME. One thing I dont have to worry about with Chris is that hes a fighter - he was born to fight. Hes exciting. He likes to go for the knockout by breaking you down. And thats what Chris is going to do on Saturday night. Break Molina down and knock him out. Paul has consistently gone out there and took on any challenger. No one wants to fight this guy. Paul is all excitement he throws punches and he doesnt stop. DON KING: Its going to be super sensational on Saturday night. In the glory of the Alamo, Eric Molina has come here to persevere and knockout out Chris Arreola. In the spirit of Texas, this young man will rise to the occasion. The underdog will come and knock out Arreola. Eric has the heart, he has the desire, he has the will to win. And he has that Texas spirit. Everybody avoids Cloud. He is the embodiment of the sport of boxing. This cloud is coming in with devastation. Hes coming out to seek and destroy. PAUL WILLIAMS: Im going to go out there and do what I do best, get the job done and put on a hell of a show. To Ishida, a win over me would mean everything. Its all or nothing for him. If you want it, you got to go through hell to get it. Whatever he throws Im going to throw five times more. Im going to show him how American boys do it. NOBUHIRO ISHIDA: I know Paul is one of the best fighters in the world but Im going to put on a great show on Saturday night. This is a great opportunity and Im here in Corpus Christi to win. I didnt come here to for second place. ERIC GOMEZ, Vice President and Matchmaker - Golden Boy Promotions This is going to be a great event - its going to be very exciting. We want to thank Dan and Paul Williams for giving us an opportunity. After he knocked out James Kirkland people were asking, Whats next? Were happy to take on a fighter like Paul Williams. TAVORIS CLOUD: Ive been in camp for a long time. I didnt take my opponent lightly and come Saturday night theres going to be a lot of excitement in the ring. Gabriel is a good fighter, but I just dont think he can take my title. But well see on Saturday night. GABRIEL CAMPILLO: Im very happy to represent my country of Spain and win a title on Saturday night. This is a great opportunity and I plan on giving Tavoris Cloud his first loss. I was a champion before and Ill be a champion again. SAMPSON LEWKOWICZ, Campillos Promoter Campillo is the underdog. But the underdog will thrive and be the new champion. He will surprise everyone with an upset and a victory. CHRIS ARREOLA: I never disrespect anyone but my job is to take those dreams away from Molina, those dreams of beating me and moving on to a world title. Don King has been talking trash and its going to be a great honor to shut his (Don Kings) mouth on Saturday. ERIC MOLINA: I feel so close to home. This is the best camp weve put together and I feel more confident that I ever have. I love being the underdog. Ive had 18 wins in a row since losing my first fight in the first round. After that loss I dreamt of getting a chance like this. It took a lot of work to get here after that loss and all that work is going to pay off against Arreola on Saturday. The event is presented by Goossen Tutor Promotions. The Williams-Ishida bout will be promoted in association with Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions. The Cloud vs. Campillo bout will be promoted by Don King Productions in association with Sampson Boxing, LLC. Tickets for the event are priced at $25, $35, $50, $75, $100 and are available at the American Bank Center box office and on Ticketmaster.com. VIP packages are also available by calling (817) 296-4546.

Marshall Kauffman Continues 17-Year Tradition With Allentown Boxing Show on Feb. 25 Reading, PA (February 17, 2012) - Since 1995, Marshall Kauffman of King's Promotions has been the sole benefactor for club level boxing in the Reading/Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, building prospects out of raw amateurs and top contenders out of prospects in small venues and arenas alike. Only International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Russell Peltz has promoted boxing longer in Pennsylvania than Kauffman has. Kauffman knows firsthand the difficulties that come along with promoting professional boxing events today, but despite the significant financial risks that are inherent of each promotion, he continues to persevere and promote on a consistent basis. He'll be the first to tell you that turning a profit isn't his primary motivation. "I guess just the thrill of seeing a life change, seeing a young man pursue his dream is what keeps me going," said Kauffman. Kauffman's next show, scheduled for February 25 at the Rodeway Inn in Allentown, Penn., will feature a number of local fighters from the Eastern Pennsylvania area pursuing their dreams of boxing glory. The show entitled "Heavyweight Explosion" will be headlined by popular heavyweight attraction William Miranda (4-4) of Allentown against Riley Brooks of Baltimore, MD in a six-round bout, with the chief supporting bout featuring junior middleweight Keenan Collins (13-7-2, 9 KO) of Reading, Penn., against Julio Cesar Lanzas (7-17-6, 1 KO) of Colorado Spring, Col. in a six-round bout. Kauffman has seen the redeeming value of boxing up close. He had seen his son Travis Kauffman become a national amateur champion as a teenager. Now as a professional, Travis Kauffman is considered one of the most promising young hopes of heavyweight boxing at 22-1 (17 kos). He had also guided Kermit Cintron from his job installing carpet for $7 an hour to a welterweight title shot against Antonio Margarito where he earned $300,000. Years later Cintron would win a version of the welterweight world championship. He had trained former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, who had defied the odds with a knockout of Lennox Lewis years earlier, as well as former super middleweight champion Steve Little during their final title quests. He also guided Rob Calloway, taking him on a 12 fight win streak that earned him a top ten ranking in the world at cruiserweight. Not everyone reaches that level in their careers, but Kauffman doesn't see their dreams as any less valuable. Take Cesar Gonzalez of Reading, who faces Osahon Omo-Osagie in a four-round rematch of their draw last May on the undercard. With the help of boxing, Gonzalez was able to turn his life around after a stint in prison. His dream was to turn professional, but at the age of 35, no promoters were willing to take that chance on him. Kauffman turned him pro at the Sovereign Center, a venue the size of which few ever get to perform in. Gonzalez has had four fights and is hoping to earn his first victory in his fifth bout. "[Cesar] might never become a world champion, but he wanted to fulfill his dream by turning professional," said Kauffman. "It's almost like threading a blanket, another color of yarn in that individual's life. Regardless if they make it big, it's a lifetime memory, something they can take with them forever." In the main event, Miranda will bring his loud contingent of 150+ screaming fans to the arena in what promises to be an exciting matchup. "Great thing about him is he's an Arturo Gatti, 'I hit you, you hit me' type of fighter, but he's such a nice guy never once does he come across as a heavyweight boxer," said Kauffman. "The guy could be in your kitchen baking a cake for your birthday party. "It's a great card, some young guys on the card that I'm high on like Frank De Alba, Grayson Blake, Anthony Young. These are the types of matchups they need to mature to the next level and have a chance to get to the championship fights. It's an honor to be a part of their journey to the top. "Will I ever be like a Russell Peltz or Top Rank with TV or multiple world champions? Maybe not, but that's not my goal. My goal is to touch lives through the sport of boxing and do it with integrity." Tickets are priced at $65 (VIP), $50 (Ringside) and $35 (General Admission), and can be purchased at the Rodeway Inn (610-398-1629), King's Boxing (610-587-5950) at Lehigh Valley Isshin Ryu Karate (484-554-8804) or online at eventbrite.com. Doors open at 6PM and first fight is at 7PM. For more information, visit www.kingsboxing.com The Rodeway Inn is located at 1151 Bulldog Drive, Allentown, PA.

CHANDIGARH: With Pong Dam and Bhakra reservoir achieving comfortable water level, water woes of north Indian states appear to have ended till next year. Incessant rains in Himachal have given the much-needed reprieve for people as water in all dams has reached comfortable levels.
Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, which have been forced to bear 10% cuts on irrigation water by the Bhakra Beas Management Board, can hope to have the cuts lifted in the next meeting of partner states scheduled for month-end. Ashok Thapar, member, power, BBMB said, "With rains in the past week, the situation has eased a little and we hope that the cuts imposed on states will get rationalized if rains continue on course. If not, then we might have to think of more cuts."
The water level in Bhakra dam on Friday was 1599.77 feet with water inflows of 39,918 cusecs. The level in Pong dam was 1,329.6 feet with inflows of 29,281 cusecs. BBMB officials said the situation is a far improvement from 1,576 feet water level in Bhakra about a fortnight ago. However, it is far less than the level of 1,662 feet registered at this time of the year. The maximum water level that can be stored in Bhakra is 1,680 feet and that in Pong is 1,390 feet.
The partner states had even expressed concern over reducing water supply as it could have adverse implications on sowing of kharif crops including paddy, maize. Punjab and Haryana have a total of 30.88 lakh hectares and 29 lakh hectares of land under irrigation system.
BBMB officials say that there might not be a need to despair since the filling period of dams is up to September 20. With retreating monsoon getting active, especially in Himachal Pradesh, the dams are getting good inflows, especially from Satluj river.

Wolverine Men's DuraShocks 8" Waterproof 200g Wide Work Boots
This is for a cozy feel with deep pockets
I purchased these boots under a year ago. They are already worn out and the soles are flat. Actually have had them for less then six months. I can say that they were the most comfortable boots I have ever owned but for this price tag and fast wear, buy something that lasts.

problem resolved by krause
My sink and faucet arrived REALLY quickly. When I finally was ready to install, I found the washer and bolts were missing from my purchase. I called the 800 number provided and the nice service rep promised to send the bolts (this was friday at 4:45 PM) When they had not arrived in a week, I called back and they were very sorry and promised to send it. I received a shipping tracking number from them and the parts arrived in 2 days. Installation was just as provided in the instructions and the unit works well. Quite a conversation piece when visitors use the facilities. I saved the instructions taped under the sink in case I need special washers from them someday. Their service department is very good and polite.

Today I was in my neighbors yard and a female eastern tiger was hovering around the peach tree in their yard. It then came and landed quickly at a low branch right in front of me and laid an egg, after she laid that egg she flew up higher in the tree and continued laying eggs. I never knew that peach trees were host to eastern tigers..i collected the egg on the low branch and I'm going to try and raise it on peach leaves. Has anyone ever heard of them using this tree before as a host? I'm located in northern Illinois. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hmmmm...that is strange. I am no expert, but I have never heard of them using Peach. Just to be safe, perhaps you should collect some of their known host plants to feed the cats when they hatch? |
According to Scotts, "The Butterflies of North America" (CD-ROM). They use peach tree (Prunus persica). This is why I love this CD-ROM. Put it in the drive and you can see a world of information. You can copy texts, but not pictures. For example, these are the host plants listed for the Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio glaucus: "Hostplants many trees and shrubs (g, ssp. glaucus; c, canadensis; r, rutulus; ?, dubious): Rosaceae: Prunus cerasus (gcr), domestica (g )(and var. galatensis (r)), americana (gr), serotina (gc), pennsylvanica (gc), virginiana (grc), persica (gcr) (ssp. glaucus larvae refuse it), emarginata (r), ilicifolia (rt), armeniaca (r), caroliniana (r), Amelanchier canadensis (c), Crataegus (gc), Malus pumila (gcr), Sorbus americana (c), Cydonia oblonga (g), Rubus? (r); Salicaceae: Populus balsamifera (rc), tremuloides (gcr), grandidentata (c), trichocarpa (r), angustifolia (r), deltoides (g), Salix lasiolepis (r), lasiandra (r), scouleriana (r), exigua (r), babylonica (r), hookeriana (rt), sp. (c); Betulaceae: Betula alba (c), lenta (c), allegheniensis (c), papyrifera (c) var. commutata (r), Carpinus caroliniana (g), Corylus (c), Alnus rugosa (c), incana (g), tenuifolia (r), viridis (r), crispa (rt), rubra (r); Aceraceae: Acer (cr); Juglandaceae: Carya (gc); Ulmaceae: Ulmus (cr); Platanaceae: Platanus racemosa (r); Tiliaceae: Tilia americana (gc); Bignoniaceae: Catalpa bignonioides (g); Magnoliaceae: Liriodendron tulipifera (g), Magnolia(r?) acuminata (g), virginiana (g); Lauraceae: Cinnamomum camphora (g), Lindera benzoin (g), Sassafras albidum var. molle (g), Persea americana (r); Styracaceae: Styrax americana? (g); Oleaceae: Fraxinus (r )americana (gc), nigra (g), caroliniana (g), pennsylvanica (vars. lanceolata (gc )and subintegerrima (c)), "swamp ash" (g), Syringa vulgaris (gcr); Rutaceae: Ptelea trifoliata (g), baldwinii (r), Zanthoxylum americanum (g); Fagaceae: Quercus velutina? (g), chrysolepis (rt). All three ssp. eat Prunus, Malus (rutulus oviposits on this but larvae refuse it), Alnus, Fraxinus, and Syringa, although ssp. rutulus and ssp. canadensis seem to prefer Salicaceae and Betulaceae as well, whereas ssp. glaucus often prefers Liriodendron. Ssp. glaucus larvae die eating Populus tremuloides, and refuse Salix; hybrid glaucus X canadensis larvae survive on Populus and Liriodendron; ssp. canadensis die eating Liriodendron and Lindera benzoin; and ssp. rutulus refuse Liriodendron and Malus (W. Edwards, J. Scriber)." It may not be the favored host plant in your area, but its the host plant they used. |
If I knew there was a CD for Scott's book, I had forgotten it. Going to have to get me one. I got the 2001 edition of the book for Christmas 2006. It is a 582 page paperback and I broke the binding fairly quickly. Spent a nice piece of change getting the 1986 hardcover version. Has held up well but I always wonder what updates I'm not seeing. The CD is from 1997, has a lot of stuff not in the book, and the runmede seal of approval, so it sounds like winner. KC |

In Butterfly Gardening for the South, the author gives a long list of tiger hosts, including Prunus persica/peach. I know of four different hosts that tigers have used just on my property - Prunus serotina/wild black cherry, Ptelea trifoliata/wafer ash, Magnolia virginiana/sweetbay, and Liriodendron tulipifera/tulip tree. Tiger swallowtails probably use more different hosts than any other butterfly, at least in my area. Sherry |

Thanks KC and Runmede for sharing this resource, Tony I ordered one for 6 bucks, but just canceled because it appears it's only PC compatible...BOO! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Butterflies Of North America CD Rom
Wish I had seen that link on Amazon. I bought the expensive way. $50 seemed cheap when the used ones were going for $106. My search included "scott" so I missed the cheap ones. Sometimes I catch the cheaper way and sometimes I don't. :( As for PC compatible, when are you going to learn how to run Windows software on your Apple? I knew people doing it back in the '90s and it is actually easier to do it these days. Crash different. :D |

Bought one! Man, between the moth smoke detector and this, I need a job! Elisabeth |
Thanks, ordered one just now. I would not spend much for something so outdated, but $8 ok. I will Web search to confirm or update details of sufficient interest. |
I used to have a peach tree. Borers eventually killed it, but never saw any caterpillars on it. |

I know this post is a bit old but I've learned that eastern tigers will lay on most deciduous trees. I've seen them laying on ash, willow, and, my latest odd plant to observe, Ligustrum. I've also been told by a friend who breeds that they love Sweet Gum trees also. |
TSTs eat a lot of different things but sweetgum would surprise me. If it is true, I would have thought myself or someone I know would have brought one in by now. I bring in a lot of sweetgum branches every year and get to raise a variety of species that just happened to be on the branches that I grabbed. ladyrose65, |
> Posted by ThatShabbyGuy > I know this post is a bit old Now you are fair game for abuse by the intolerant in the cacti forum who lie in wait, triggered to lurch. |

Follow-Up Postings:
Andromischus Cristatus, otherwise known as Keylime Pie. I confess that I have collected cuttings in the past before I knew better... I no longer do and will explain why. Though it sounds unlikely the store you visted would have used the leaves for propagation I know of a lot of nurseries that do. And even If It looks as though the cuttings are abandoned the people who run it are full aware of at least most of them. It's just easier to let nature do its thing and when they start doing well they get collected up and potted for later sales when It is more mature. However, I don't see an issue with inquiring about fallen leaves and ehatnot. Most they can do is tell you no. I tend to be very thorough when I look around nurseries as I am interesting in what makes everything tick and run and sometimes I find plants that have fallen somewhere weird and gotten "lost". I like to rescue these and bring them to someone's attention if there is damage. You may even end up getting it for free just for doing the right thing there. Anyway, my rule is, if its near the plant it fell from, let It be. If its somewhere weird, pick It up and inquire. They'll usually let you have it. |
Can't help on the ID, but I had to chime in on the part about taking cuttings or leaves. The way I see it, is if you have to grab a leave or cutting discretely, you are doing something wrong. Technically, anything in a store, whether on a shelf or rack, or on the floor, is their property, and shouldn't be taken without permission. I only have one plant, a jade, that I got from a small stem that was laying on the floor beneath the mother plant. I picked it up, but I just couldn't take it. I immediately felt like I was doing something wrong, so I just walked over to an employee and asked if I could have it. She asked the owner, and he was quite baffled that I asked, and said that most people would just take it. I don't know if that's the case, but either way, he happily said I could have it. Now, I can look at that jade, now a nice little tree, and not have to question whether I stole it or not. So all in all, whether or not it's theft, well, the jury is still out on that I guess, and it's up to the individual. The store certainly isn't taking a loss of product, but, it's also a plant that you're now not buying. Me personally, no, I won't do it without asking, but it's also not my job to judge anyone who does. Joe |
Hm okay, I just took 2 that was on the floor and looked like it was going to go to the garbage soon. And I didn't even hide it anywhere, just took it out with me. But next time I will make sure I ask if I want to take leaves with me. How come the Andromischus Cristatus here looks a bit different? |
Nevermind, looked it up on Google and it's the same :) Glad that I incidentally captured this little guy, he looks I think. |

Adro. christa var. christa Christa are neat to have easy & not to slow for an adro. You could get as many as six off sets ( clones) in a year. Airial roots are part of it's charm. The dence airial roots they give mites a very good place to hide. Sort of frail at times and is very possible the piece found laying around had fallen off from anouther one. Mite deterant. Well in brief mites wont like the heat that this adro would enjoy ( would need to be transistioned) |
Thanks for the info.! Definitely good to know about the aerial roots, at first I was really confused why the roots are on the stems and wasn't sure how to repot it. My plants stay indoor since I live in an apartment, so should be okay with the mite problem, hopefully! |
- Posted by jojosplants 9/ Tucson, Az. (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 12:39
You still should keep an eye out for mites. You never know what when they may sneak in on another plant or even your clothes. |

Flip a bird; pigeon, plane, it's a word, it's a shame
from Chance The Rapper (Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid, J.P. Floyd & Will Miller) – Good Ass Intro Lyrics on Genius
Basically saying fuck you to all his haters by flipping the bird and putting up the middle finger. Also a reference to Pigeons & Planes, a music blog that has been supporting him of late
Flipping birds is also slang for selling cocaine. A bird is a kilo of cocaine marked with a stamp of a bird showing where it came from. When seeing Superman flying above, multiple observers would commonly yell out the classic line:
It's a bird! It's a plane! No…it's Superman!

About US
The Homesteader Kitchen is a joint effort run by mother-and-daughter team Marie and Bethany. We both love the homesteading and self-sufficient life, and wanted to share our research and knowledge with others.
Together, we operate several websites, including the Homesteader Kitchen, a homesteading skills teaching site called The Homesteader School, and a site about transitioning from city life to rural life at Rural Living Today.
We've been doing freelance writing, product reviews and research for many years and just recently decided to do our own site.
We did this mainly because we always wanted to publish reviews for products we've used, abused, loved and appreciated. And yes, a few products that we have had the opportunity to use and would LOVE to own.
We opted to call it the Homesteader Kitchen because the products that we review are really what we consider essential tools for the homesteading, back-to-basics lifestyle.
Being frugal is important to us, and so when we make an investment for a piece of equipment, we do loads of research beforehand.
We want to make sure that we are getting the best bang for our buck,
and we know we are not the only ones!

- Must have a capacity to do what we need it to without creating extra work for us
- Must allow us to work smarter, not harder
- Must help us become more and more independent of the grocery store and help us efficiently do more ourselves
- We prefer Made in USA when we can get it.
So feel free to browse around and see which products we have used and recommended. A word of warning – we both do a ton of research and we tend to get wordy.

Nissan Quest Steering
I own a 2000 Nissan Quest Van with 90,000 miles. My daughter is currently at school with this van. She called to say the van is making a cranking noise in the front end when she turns the steering wheel. Doesn't happen all the time but enough that it is cause for concern. Any thoughts on the problem?
toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905
koen1 Posts: 5I have the same car and same mileage. Ironically I hear the same cranking noise when the steering wheel is turned more than 90 degrees, for example, during a U-turn or P-turn. Yes, it's a rack and pinion. I replaced the control arm lower ball joint once. Can you answer what should be checked?
jaggiebunnett Posts: 10
gawami Posts: 2I have a 2004 Quest with 58k on it. At about 30K, it started making a clunking noise when the car was started forward with the steering wheel adjusted for a turn. The dealer tried things 3 times, without any effect:lemon:. Still does it and the dealer says "live with it" and I guess I'll have to. Any ideas?
jessiev Posts: 2We heard a low, heavy clicking when we turn the wheel sharp so we decided to change the power steering fluid.
The thudding turned into squealing and we realized we probably put the wrong power steering fluid in.
Does anyone know the "right" power steering fluid to put in? We have a 1995 Nissan Quest. -
stopsineman Posts: 2The real question we're trying to ask here is that we have been told that it's very possible that what The '95 Quest actually uses as it's "power steering fluid" is transmission fluid. This would jive with what we siphoned out of the power steering reservoir because it was a reddish color (rather than clear like the power steering fluid we put in). Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance! -

pachrismith Posts: 2The owners manual says to use type f automatic transmission fluid. Regular power steering fluid has probably ruined the seals in your system. You're looking at about $400.00 just for parts if you do it yourself. Sorry, double because I didn't read the manual until it was too late myself. Wonder how many pumps and steering gears nissan has sold with this trick!
